  • Deliver First-Visit Resolution: Resolve customer issues efficiently and accurately on-site, minimizing repeat service calls and downtime.

  • Customer Training & Support: Train operators and maintenance staff on system operation, calibration, and software, ensuring confident and safe equipment use.

  • Autonomous Field Operations: Manage personal travel, scheduling, and reporting with minimal supervision while maintaining high levels of professionalism and responsiveness.

  • Continuous Improvement: Capture and report system issues or recurring trends to internal engineering teams, contributing to product and process improvements.

Fit Traits
  • Independent problem-solver who thrives on travel, autonomy, and variety

  • Calm under pressure with strong diagnostic and technical reasoning skills

  • Confident communicator who can train and build trust with customers

  • Committed to quality, professionalism, and first-time resolution

  • Adaptable — comfortable managing both electrical and mechanical challenges in the field

You’ll represent a globally respected brand in advanced testing systems, ensuring customers experience excellence from installation to ongoing support. Every visit is an opportunity to lead, teach, and uphold technical integrity.
